Top 39 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Bournemouth

SAM JOY

Love the lounge wherever they are! Great for me as I’m gluten free. I get a dedicated GF menu! Plus there’s vegan & regular food to cater for everyone!

Lizzy Potter

Really nice and helpful staff, good & knowledgeable about dietary requirements, gluten/dairy free etc, prices are reasonable for portions too, would highly recommend the lounge breakfast

**5 out of 5 stars** Every time there's a Cosy Club in town, I make sure to go—and the Bournemouth location did not disappoint! I've had both dinner and brunch here, and each visit has been absolutely wonderful. The food is consistently amazing with great quality, and what stands out most is the care and attention the team shows, especially when it comes to catering for coeliac disease. I always feel completely safe eating here, which means the world to me. Special thanks to Han, Jordan, and the lovely blonde lady who served us during brunch on the 11th of May—she was incredibly professional and kind, though I sadly didn’t catch her name. The staff truly make the experience extra special. It's just a shame there's no Cosy Club in London—I’d be there all the time!

Great experience- dog friendly and catering for what looked like all dietary needs. Staff friendly Gluten free has its own separate menu on request at the bar which is very comprehensive. They mark up the dishes as GF when serving so no mix ups. Pictures attached show the gf burger looks (and tasted) great with no difference to main menu. Fantastic and thank you!

I loved the mushroom risotto, 100% gluten free and the staff super nice especially Noah 🫶🏼 very kind and hard worker

Mary Dunn

Being Gluten Free always enjoyed visiting Cote restaurants but shocked when handed a I pad to check menu options this is something that used to happen in early days of GF, gone backwards cannot understand why. Very disappointing.

Terence Tucker

Great food and surroundings. Excellent service. One of the best restaurants we’ve ever found for my coeliac wife. And we live in London! We will be back.

Ellie Falloon

A great restaurant who knows their allergens! Feel very safe eating here

Catarina Canarias

Amazing place Lovely owners and delicious food No menu, had a dish that changes daily to reduce waste - great idea! All GF so safe for coeliacs

Ellie Falloon

Siani Warner

Amazing London Fog and gluten free banoffee pancakes 🥞 thank you 🥹

Fast and polite service from Oliver, pizza was amazing and the banana blossom was a brilliant gluten free and veggie alternative! Would love to come again!

Sarah Clarke

Delicious vegan food..huge portions! We got served super quick. Gluten free options too.

Beatriz Silvestre

Lovely drinks but I can't say I was impressed with the food. Gluten free pasta was very undercooked.

Lara Chammas

Great place to have breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack overlooking the cliffs and ocean! Had plenty of gluten free options including bread to enjoy a delicious sandwich.

I like the breaded camembert and the chicken curry. I love that the mains have protein, sometimes at vegan restaurants you don’t get that. I absolutely loved this place the first time we visited a year ago but I felt that this time the quality got a bit worse. The menu hadn’t changed much, I do prefer more seasonal plates. The food took ages to arrive which I understand when you make it from scratch but some of it was cold. Got the creme brûlée which was very nice but the sugar on top needed to be hardened more. The area is quite bad and there were some dodgy people sitting outside who were not customers. I think the menu could be improved with more seasonal dishes, would love a gluten free burger, and that it’d be a better dining experience if the area was nicer.

I had a wonderful dining experience, thanks to Harriet, our waitress. She was incredibly attentive and made sure to double-check that my meal was completely gluten-free, which I truly appreciated. Her care and attention to detail made me feel at ease and able to enjoy my meal without worry. Harriet’s friendly demeanor and professionalism really stood out, and I highly recommend her for anyone who values excellent service. Thank you, Harriet, for going the extra mile!

Guys Who Dine

Is this the best cafe/bar in Bournemouth? Although we were staying in a hotel that does a very nice breakfast,we prefer to eat later without getting up too early. Just a short walk through town and up to the Triangle. The interior is bright and possibly a little camp. Think pink & neon and maybe a flamingo lurking somewhere with a bit a glam. There's wooden table's & chairs, as well as comfy sofas to sink into. It's a very friendly and welcoming space. You can just have a coffee,or choose from an array of freshly prepared food. Whatever side of the fence you are,gluten free,veggie,vegan,they cater to all tastes. But we're not any of those. An all day breakfast is what we are craving. As you enter,find an available seat to settle into and place your order at the counter. This can be difficult at times,as it's a very sort after spot. The breakfast is freshly cooked to order and arrives at the table in no-time. The highlight has got to be the very tasty sausages. At £9.25,it's quite good value. In fact all their prices are very reasonable for the quality and service. In the evening they have different events as well. Our only problem is,when we bring our boys,that's doggies. We can't get out of the place. As so many people want to say hello to them. This is truly the friendliest and best cafe in Bournemouth where everyone is welcome. Oh,and our boys love all the attention.

Really lovely place to come for some food! A large variety of gluten free items as well which is so nice to see these days. Service and food brilliant. Would recommend to all especially those who are gluten free

Not eaten in here yet, but noticed an amazing variety of GF cakes when I grabbed a quick drink!

I had high expectations after reading multiple positive reviews, so I was disappointed not to be able to give 5 stars. The gluten free menu only works if you don't have other intolerances and like halloumi and spinach. I ended up building my own breakfast. 2 rashers of bacon 1 poached egg 2 halves of tomato 1 portion baked beans (looked like 1/2 portion) 1 slice gluten-free bread (toasted) How much do you think that ought to cost? Now, I know I'm a Yorkshire lass and this cafe is in Bournemouth, but £8.50... that's a bit steep and worthy of an "'Ow much?" Everything about the Olive Cafe is distinctly average. For me personally, charging prices like £8.50 for a barely there breakfast is a bit cheeky. Either improve the quality and portion size or reduce the amount you charge.

Lara Chammas

Had two great dinners here during my staff in Southbourne. While you end up having a lot of dishes, the food was tasty and locally sourced which I loved. Most of the menu was also gluten free, or able to be adapted, which meant I had plenty to choose from! Service was also great and friendly and gave lots of recommendations for the area

This establishment offers a delightful culinary experience, featuring delicious cuisine and thoughtfully prepared gluten-free options. The service was exemplary, deserving of a five-star rating. A particular commendation is extended to Valerio, who provided exceptional assistance with the menu and enriched the dining experience with engaging insights into Italian traditions, while also showing genuine interest in my own cultural background. His attentive and proactive service ensured a thoroughly enjoyable meal. I anticipate returning in the near future.

Went there for lunch a few weeks ago and was advised by staff on what I could and couldn't have, as I'm gluten free (coeliac). Portions are huge and whilst I wasn't mind-blown by the food, it was okay and I didn't have any reactions to it!

The Boarding School Sk8

Shannon was amazing and took care of our very difficult gluten intolerant person. Very attentive. Food was quick and lush Big portions and tasy

Gerald Short

Kevin Gilling

Great end of pier cafe, staff friendly and helpful. Good coffee for the money and gluten free options.

Ella Jenkinson

Plantain and curry goat were amazing, both gluten free. Exceptional service from the guy whose name was Omid. Great 241 cocktails and a lovely all round time.

Prezzo offers a modern and stylish setting, with a neutral palette of greys and earthy tones creating a calm and contemporary atmosphere. It’s an inviting space, but when it comes to the food, I expected a bit more. We ordered a gluten-free pasta and a Margherita pizza, both of which were decent but unremarkable—the kind of dishes you could find just about anywhere. For a brand like Prezzo, I anticipated a higher level of quality and flavour, but the execution felt standard rather than special. That said, the service was excellent. The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring a smooth and pleasant dining experience. While the food didn’t impress, the service certainly did.
